Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/client: Fully protect modes[] with dev->mode_config.mutex The modes[] array contains pointers to modes on the connectors'
mode lists, which are protected by dev->mode_config.mutex.
Thus we need to extend modes[] the same protection or by the
time we use it the elements may already be pointing to
freed/reused memory.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: drm/client: Protege completamente los modos[] con dev->mode_config.mutex. La matriz modes[] contiene punteros a los modos en las listas de modos de los conectores, que están protegidos por dev- >mode_config.mutex. Por lo tanto, necesitamos extender modes[] la misma protección o, cuando la usemos, es posible que los elementos ya estén apuntando a la memoria liberada/reutilizada.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
